The 25,000 square metre Castle Quay residential development is part of St Helier’s prestigious waterfront and includes 280 new residences. As part of the second phase of this development, Castle Quay Phase II is transforming the island into an internationally recognised business and tourism region. The complex will attract public activity and events to the area and enhance the existing identity of Castle Quay as a premier destination by providing modern landmark design that fits into the sensitive local urban context. The three blocks of the complex protect the unique views between the town centre, marina and historic Elizabeth Castle and strengthen the routes and connections between the town centre and waterfront. Over 50% of the site is dedicated to public space and new pedestrian avenues that will activate the waterfront for residents and visitors. The architecture maximises its environmental performance in relation to the local climate and includes bio-diverse roof terraces. The scheme’s urban design also enhances its open spaces with newly commissioned public art works.
